Curing clover and lucerne in the cock has become a common practice. When cut and allowed to remain in. the swath the leaves dry much more rapidly than the steins, and many leaves drop off in handling. The appetising aroma and much food value are thus lost. In the busy central streets of Liverpool much curiosity is evinced as to the identity and life story of a on-3-legged man, masked and in khaki, who grinds an organ. His mask is of crape, completely concealing his features; and his. uniform is that of an officer, minus the rank star, but decorated with the M.C. and other war ribbons. Money comes to him ijreely while he stands playing. The man is said to have served in the army throusnoat the war, gaining his'cpmmission and retiring with the rank of captain. He was wounded more than once before losing his leg. Hi? pxcuse for his present occupation is that, his pension is insufficient for the needs of his family and himself.
